Can someone explain to me how this is a remix as it doesn't state so on the label. looks to me like a solid centre edition of the original.

Released 1978, "Driver's seat" was one of those early attempts of a hybrid between rock and disco. The mix is very bass-oriented, adding new keyboard effects, focusing on the low-pitched vocals in the chorus and even replacing the original lead guitar parts by a sort of synthesized guitar.
The song did not chart initially, but somehow it did two years later, when it ranked No. 4 in the Netherlands.
Song was also used for a car audio advertisement in 1991 and became an even bigger hit than it ever was, especially in the Netherlands where it was a number one.
